Johnny knows how to
blow bubbles from
his nose when
he cries,
but I am the
ONLY one
in the class
who knows how to whistle,
the young boy told his mom
who laughed so hard it hurt.

This sounds very much like real life!
Yes, it is real life. What a great conversation!
I laughed, too. Such unsuspected talents!
Hilarious, Laurie! For such gems!

love it!
So cute! Last night my five year old great-grandson called me to tell me how his babysitter (his teenage uncle) plays The Being Quiet game with him - to see who can keep quiet the longest (Damian is a total chatterbox) and if he wins he gets to play x-box. Hee hee. I could hear his mom cracking up in the background!!!!!!!!!
Love this slice of life!
Sounds like something my granddaughter would say! Excellent!
This made me smile, Laurie!
Oh, I can relate!
You cannot believe how happy I am that she didn't 'snort milk (or any liquid) out her nose'. I am just so sick of that blogging myth.
Laughing until it hurts is good.
And believable.
haha lots of fun laurie...def love the talents...and makes me think of my own boys...
whistling and snapping my fingers were talents I was determined to learn before kindergarten. ....nowadays I wonder why I can't set such simple milestones for myself. Thanks for crafting this piece. I appreciated the innocent tone you employed
While I read this I could see my brother, the one with red hair and freckles, talking to my mother when we were children.
My mother and my brother could whistle. I couldn't.

Great child's eye view! :)
...oh my. Only a boy would be impresses with a child that blows bubbles from his nose. :)
I bet this was "stollen" from a real life conversation! ha
Oh, my. Sounds like a little boy for sure!
I love conversations with children, they never fail to enlighten or amuse, as here...
Ya gotta love kids! Very nicely done :)
Laurie - I loved this! And it so reminded me of my kidlets when they were just a bit younger!
